The eight instances you can lodge an objection with SARS and win!

Do you have a Vat assessment that you disagree with? Find out the eight instances when you can lodge an objection with SARS and win.

Dear Reader,

Here's a true story with a happy ending.

I had coffee with our Vat consultant, Kallie van der Merwe the other day, and he told me an interesting story about one of his clients, Mr Hogenboezem*. He received a Vat assessment for R86 000 from SARS. SARS issued him with this assessment because he mistakenly claimed input tax twice on a bakkie and the invoices he received for purchases were technically incorrect.

This assessment was as much as his monthly turnover. So he disagreed with the assessment and wasn't willing to pay. Luckily, he did the smart thing and lodged an objection. SARS reviewed the objection and eventually withdrew the assessment. Mr Hogenboezem was successful in his objection and didn't have to pay SARS a single cent! Read on to find out when you can also lodge an objection and win.
